Hello everyone! So..my pcs failed to invade the lumber mill of the Brotherhood..long story short: 2 of them died in the process an the other 2 managed to retreat..so i am thinking of a solution to keep playing but my ideas are not great until now.. The 2 players are working on new characters..somebody on the messageboards advised me to use the sewer system of magnimar as a new base for the Skinsaw Cult and move the last encounter there..I found this to be a great idea! I also got the Scarecrow and I could use it someway..Any ideas how to combine all these and make the Pcs investigate the sewers?? Furthermore, any ideas how I should advise my players on creating new PCs that could be included in the story ?
Thank you in advance!

Have one of the Skinsaw worshipers realize that their leader is under a charm and lead them to the new location. He's doing this so he can restart the cult under his own control, but he doesn't tell the PCs that.
Sorry for the late response, you probably solved this issue already but...
After a couple days you could have the scarecrow ambush the PCs in one of the alleys as suggested in the AP. After a few rounds of fighting you could have the city guard come to investigate the Sacrecrow could retreat into the sewers (maybe he was ordered by Xanesha to check up on Ironbriar.) The PCs can follow him and find the cult that way.
I always prefer my players to come up with reasons they're together on their own. Magnimar is a big city; it shouldn't be hard to think of a reason why the new characters are there. If your players are stuck there's always the old cliche standby of going to the nearest tavern to look for help, and hey what a coincidence, when they get to the tavern there are two mercenaries/adventurers looking for work.
Alternatively, maybe the new people happen to be nearby when the Sacrecrow attacks and get dragged into the fight.
